Ivie Lee and her boyfriend Jason are a kindhearted couple who live in an apartment complex in California. The couple regularly saw a stray cat wandering around the complex, and they began feeding her. They named the cat Mary.

In July 2019, Mary finally reappeared. And she had an adorable little kitten with her.

Ivie and Jason were touched by the fact that Mary trusted them enough to bring her kitten to them. Ivie shared a sweet video of the cat mom and kitten on her Twitter page, and it quickly went viral, receiving over six million views. Everyone loved the short and sweet video!

My boyfriend and I have been feeding this stray cat for the past year. We named her Mary. He films her waiting at his door for food every morning, but lately she hasn’t been showing up. Look what happened when she came back!!!!! pic.twitter.com/OyJSjx3ErZ

Ivie brought Mary and the kitten to the clinic, and they learned the kitten was a boy and in good health. The vet began getting Mary ready for her spaying procedure, but unfortunately, it didn’t go well. Mary began bleeding from her abdomen, which wasn’t normal. The vet also found growths on her liver, tongue, and upper lip. Ivie and the vet weren’t sure if Mary was going to make it.

Thankfully, Mary was a fighter, and she pulled through.

“Update: Mary made it everyone! She’s currently resting in the little recovery corner we made for her. We’re going to give her some space like our vet suggested, so we’ll take photos of her later. And the kitty is doing so well! He’s super energetic and loves to be pet!” Ivie wrote.
